Congrats To Sudbury's James Courtemanche On Winning $88,000!

The following is a release from OLG:

James Courtemanche of Sudbury is $88,888 richer after winning the top prize with INSTANT WILD 8 (Game #2264).

This is James’ second trip to the OLG Prize Centre! “I was here in August 2021 to collect a $100,000 prize on an INSTANT MONEY MATCH ticket,” he explained. “I purchased this ticket at the same store as my previous win.”

The 43-year-old said he played his ticket at home and didn’t realize he won the top prize until scanning his ticket using the OLG App. “I couldn’t believe it happened again! I was so surprised – and then I remembered good things happen in 3’s, so I’m ready for my next one,” he laughed.

He plans to save his winnings for now. “With the current pandemic, it’s not a good time to make plans. I’m still waiting to book a trip from my first winnings,” he concluded.
